Today on the beautiful University of Miami campus in lovely Coral Gables your Miami Hurricanes held the annual CanesFest day to celebrate UM Athletics.
Here are some videos from www.hurricanesports.com from today's event:
By Tuesday, the starting rosters and eligible players should be announced to Hurricane fans following the NCAA investigation into UM players possibly receiving potentially illegal benefits.

Bring in the adults for their own media day...
Hurricane Nevin shouldn't fall on players...
The best i have read so far on the so called Miami Scandal...
Dave Hyde
Sun Sentinel Columnist
9:09 p.m. EDT, August 27, 2011
CORAL GABLES — At what point does someone in a position of authority at the NCAA or the University of Miami stand up and say something rational like players shouldn't take the brunt of a predator booster's actions?
Maybe they'll say it Monday, when most of the eight ineligible Miami football players get reinstated. Probably Tuesday at the latest.
Because in the end, this chapter should go down as a convicted Ponzi schemer's final Ponzi scheme, this one where Nevin Shapiro got righteous media and emotional college fans to invest deeply in what was salacious hoo-ha more than felonious substance.
This isn't to defend Miami. Its adults invested in the schemer, too. They have to explain why they let Shapiro run around the program for so long when football coach Randy Shannon labeled him a problem.
Some of them — yes, starting with you, departed Kirby Hocutt and silent Donna Shalala — need to explain why they didn't kick Shapiro out the door earlier.
So if the NCAA wants to take on the adults, if it wants to address the systemic root of the business, then by all means have at it. Suspend an athletic director rather than a quarterback. Make a president answer questions rather than a linebacker.
It's beyond silliness saying it's OK for school officials to act like prostitutes for a booster's money while jumping up and down over a booster's unsubstantiated allegation that players got prostitutes.
On Saturday, the Miami players sat on bleachers at the athletic center and took questions as part of media day for any left with questions.
ESPN didn't have any, canceling their visit to hit Baton Rouge, La., where LSU's star quarterback was facing legal issues.
Other national media who might have come were circling Tuscaloosa, Ala., where stories of an Alabama booster, dress suits and star running back Trent Richardson were being fit for headline size.
This is the state of college athletics, one scandal holding interest until a new one hits. So there sat Jacory Harris saying to a few writers the last couple of weeks haven't been much fun but suggesting it might all come out fine.
"I expect to play, yes,'' he said when asked about the Sept. 5 opener at Maryland. "We'll see."
"I feel like Jacory,'' receiver Travis Benjamin said. "I'm hopeful."
If most of these players are reinstated, the grand conclusion is one a lot of people won't like: The NCAA has found a predator booster in a lot of programs. The only difference in this case is the booster talked openly about it.
Shapiro talked and talked and talked to the point truth became inseparable from fiction. That's not going to satisfy people who feel they saw behind the curtain of a rogue Miami program that, honestly, isn't that rogue at all.
It's full of good people. It has a ridiculous amount of compliance. And it has some answering to do about Shapiro.
Miami shouldn't be given the death penalty, as Sports Illustrated argued again 15 years later. It's big-time college athletics that should be. It's a landscape where each week yields another program under fire.
The NCAA made a big step recently by suspending former Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl from coaching for three years rather than suspending the Tennesse basketball program.
That's how it should be. That's taking on the adults, not the players.
Miami coach Al Golden hasn't coached a game at Miami and already finds himself standing in a mess.
"I was sad for the guys [over this investigation], because I think we all as individuals, we hope to grow and mature and learn from mistakes," he said. "These guys are no different. If what has been alleged, if there ends up being some truth to it and they do have to serve some penalties, it's three years ago.
"We have to go back three years. That's why I feel bad for them."
Did players make mistakes? Sure. But it's time the NCAA realized they shouldn't take the brunt of the scandal. Bring in the adults for their own media day.

Posted by: ftmcane | August 27, 2011 at 11:22 PM
Synecdoche, New York is VERY strange... kind of depressing in many ways, and yet also very artsy & creative. Great acting by Philip Seymour Hoffman, (as usual), but it is NOT a feel good, happy ending kind of flick.
If you're in a warped state of mind, it's weird enough to be entertaining. While watching it, I often would find myself thinking "Who thinks up this stuff?" (Charlie Kaufman of course.)
I would NOT recommend it highly for most people... but I personally found it interesting.
(I guess I would give it a 6 out of 10.)

Dave Hyde's article says it all. Enough said already. But the U always seems to have a bulls eye on it's back. SI made so much of it, that they will do something, just to save face.
Good morning and hope all of you are safe.

Excellent article Mr. Hyde!!!

I concur with roachcane77. The movie has an intriguing premise. However, watching it was a major disappointment. Don't waste your time and money.

Canesteeler - not good. I was wondering about that. I know he has been skating but not cleared for contact. Can't risk him getting another one :\

dunno; that penguin quote is so stupid I'm not sure Jacory knows how to tie his own shoes.
Posted by: dj moonbat | August 27, 2011 at 07:16 PM
Moon: Yup. I was at a neighbor's house watching race last night, and saw the blurb about Jacory on the bottom screen crawl.
At first excited,then reason came back over me. Who would believe anything this kid has said over the past 3+ years?
If he is cleared I'll be glad for the team, but I'm not basing anything on what comes out of that dude's mouth. Same for Spence, TB, others.
Penguins. Jesus Christ.

I EXPECT TO GET TAGGED TEAMED BY FOUR HEAT DANCERS WILL IT HAPPEN????? "WE'LL SEE."
Posted by: canezilla | August 28, 2011 at 01:48 PM
Next year, he'll probably "expect" to be taken in the first round of the draft. He thinks' "expect" means "I try to think positive" or something.

Gibson’s Trent Taylor Wavering on Commitment to Miami
by Solange Reyner
Lake Gibson’s Trent Taylor is wavering on his commitment to the University of Miami after hearing about the NCAA investigation and the allegations surrounding the football program.
Taylor, a defensive end who also had an offer from Louisville and interest from Tennessee, Florida and USF before committing to Miami in February, spoke to coaches from Tennesee, Florida and USF on Wednesday night regarding his interest in getting back on their radar.
“Obviously there’s been a change of heart,” Gibson coach Keith DeMyer said. “I think he’s concerned and this news has kind of opened up his eyes a little bit.”
DeMyer said Taylor has not decommitted from Miami, but that he wants to leave his options open in case the NCAA hands down a heavy punishment.
“Nobody knows what’s going to happen with Miami,” DeMyer said. “But if the Hurricanes still want to hang with Trent, they need to be understanding moving forward. At this point, he just wants other coaches to know that he wants back on their list.”
DeMyer said Tennessee has already asked Taylor to take an official visit to their campus this fall.
